Subject: Did kernel 3.11 never work?

I am trying to use kernel 3.11 on VirtualBox or VMWare, but it hangs at boot right after the message “Booting the kernel”. Under VMWare, VMWare gives a message that it received an instruction to halt the CPU.

I have tried different editions of 3.11 and they all are affected the same way. Does anyone know why this and a way to fix it?
